Abstract

That on connecting a source in the primary circuit of a perfectly coupled transformer, the currents in both the primary and secondary coils may be discontinuous does not appear to have been widely discussed in the literature. In this discussion, we present an analysis of the general circuit and show that in general, the currents will be discontinuous, except for specific combinations of the initial currents in the two coils. Although unity coupling coefficient cannot be realized in practice, a perfectly coupled transformer is a useful concept in circuit analysis and synthesis, and the results presented here should be of interest to students as well as teachers of circuit theory.

This ‘equivalent’ circuit implies only mathematical equivalence (of the loop equations) but not physical equivalence, because the two coils have no common point.
 
2
Notably, in [2], there are no examples or discussions on initial conditions in coupled coils. In the only example in which a coupled coil appears (pp 110–112), inductor junctions are created through additional inductors in each circuit and a current generator in the secondary circuit.

Kuo [1], at this point, assumes i 1(0–) = i 2(0–), presumably, as an example. We give general results in Eqs. 15.25 and 15.26.
